Parameters defined at project level in Eclipse will override parameters defined at Eclipse level (right click on the project and go to Properties > Sonar > Local analysis properties)

Excluding Plugins

Icon

Some plugins (useless for a local analysis) can be skipped while performing a local analysis thanks to the sonar.dryRun.excludePlugins property (Settings > Configuration > General Settings > General > General).

The default value is 'devcockpit,pdfreport,report,scmactivity,views'. For example, to skip the Build Stability plugin (due to https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SONARIDE-346), set the property to 'devcockpit,pdfreport,report,scmactivity,views,buildstability'.

There are two ways to know when the last analysis was run on a project:

Right-click on the project in the Project Explorer, and then Properties > Sonar

This date can be displayed on the navigation views, like the Project explorer or the Navigator. This option is not active by default. To activate it, go to Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Label Decorations and check Sonar Analysis Date Decorator:

Sonar Issues View (displays local or remote information depending on the selected mode)
